Why is he so different in text messages and in real life?

I have a crush on this guy, and it's been going on for a while now, a couple of months. He knows I'm into him, and lately when we text he's sweet and funny and gives me attention and stuff, but when I see him in real life he's more quiet and I always have to take the first step in case of talking...Now I know he's a serious guy and isn't a player, but why doesn't he start talking to me when I see him? And when we give each other a playful look, he can't look me in the eyes that long, he looks away...

So now I'm confused Because when I don't see him he's sweet and flirty and nice and fun, and when I see him he's quiet but after a while he might start flirting...what's that all about?

Updates:

Tnx for all your answers, but if he knows I'm into him, why is he still so shy? It kinda discourages me...

So we were gonna go out tonight with a bunch of friends, but he couldn't make it. But last night when he went out he touched a girl's ass and he told people he really disliked her...I didn't even see him for more than 10mins this weekend, what's up with all these darn mixed messages?

But it gives me the impression he's not interested and he's just "messing with it"...but when we text, we do text quite a long time, but I don't know if I should get my hopes up because I don't feel like getting hurt. How can I make him more relaxed?

He's just being shy when you see him in person. He probably feels braver when you talk through text because well, it's text. Just keep talking to him in person and eventually he should warm up and show you his sweet and funny self :)
